Mauricio Pochettino has given the latest update on Toby Alderweireld's injury and it looks like being good news for Tottenham Hotspur fans.

The centre-back was in great form during the 2-2 draw at Manchester City on Saturday, but needed to leave the pitch midway through the second half with what looked like a tight hamstring.

Victor Wanyama slotted back into central defence with Eric Dier, but the Belgian's injury comes at a time when his international team-mate Jan Vertonghen is also out with an ankle injury.

His manager seemed in good spirits about the defender's plight though after the encounter.

"I think it doesn't look bad. We don't know if it was an injury or it was a precaution that he decided to come off the pitch. I think he felt tired and I think with Toby, when we were talking, it doesn't look bad," said Pochettino.

On Wanyama and Dier, he added: "We have good players that can play in a different position like Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama. They can play like a midfielder or a centre-back. That's a good balance in the team that we have."
